Ulster is one of the provinces of Ireland, located in the north of the island. In ancient Ireland, it was one of the fifths ruled by a rí ruirech, or "king of over-kings". The definition of the province was fluid from early to medieval times. It took a definitive shape in the reign of King James I of England when all the counties of Ireland were eventually shired.
